‘More youths leaving cities’


MELAKA: A single person needs RM2,700 a month to survive in the city while a couple needs RM4,700, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic) said, citing survey findings.

“Those with children have to factor in another RM50 to RM600 per child per month,” he said at a 2050 National Transformation (TN50) dialogue with Chinese new village residents from all over the country in Machap here yesterday.
